Amazeballs: coconut sugar shower scrub spheres that rule

Sometimes my inner Martha rears back her crazy head and requires a feeding. Let the Christmas crafts commence.

I started out imagining sugar scrub concoctions and fancied doing an orange and clove pomander version like those crazy hanging oranges people used to make but I had not the faintest crafting clue on how to turn it into a skin scrub. After conducting some interwebs research on the subject, I uncovered a different project which may heretofore may be referred to as the best Christmas craft ever and rivaled only by my all natural corn-filled Hag Bag compresses. Amazeballs win in the end because they are 1,000 times easier.

Here’s how it goes down:

Coconut-Sugar Scrub Amazeballs

3/4 cup coconut oil

3 cups white sugar

Nuke your coconut oil for 20 seconds or so to melt it and pour in your sugar. Mix it up with your hands. It is like a bowl full of snow that isn’t cold and smells like a mounds bar. Delight in that for a while. Pack the mixture into small balls (I used a round tablespoon) and turn them out onto a sheet. Let chill back to room temperature so they are firm. Pack in a little jar or something.

These things melt in the shower and leave your skin as soft as a baby’s wagon. Totes a-balls.
